The Potential of Vitamin D Supplements in Reducing Inflammation
A new study has found that older adults with vitamin D deficiency have higher levels of inflammation, which is associated with chronic inflammatory diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and dementia. The study suggests that vitamin D supplements may help reduce the risk of these diseases by decreasing inflammation. Vitamin D deficiency is common worldwide, and supplementation is recommended for older adults. However, it is important to combine vitamin D supplementation with a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity, sleep, non-smoking, and healthy nutrition choices, for the best risk reduction.
